'Dog or Bread?' Question Takes Over Twitter

This is What’s Trending Today…
This week, people on Twitter have been trying to identify some unusual-looking pictures. They are asking what, at first, might seem like a strange question: “Is this a photograph of a dog or a photo of a kind of food?”
A woman named Karen Zack, known as @teenybiscuit on Twitter, first posted the question: “labradoodle or fried chicken?” Her post included photos of young dogs known as labradoodles and a tasty treat -- fried chicken.
Labradoodles are dogs that are a cross between Labrador retrievers and poodles.
That question led to more viral comparisons between dogs and food. Karen Zack’s next post compared sleeping puppies with a popular bread product – bagels.
More than 14,000 people retweeted Zack’s “Puppy or Bagel” post.
And, in a Twitter post on Wednesday, Zack compared the Chihuahua, one of the world’s smallest dogs, with another baked good -- muffins.
That post received more than 24,000 retweets.
Karen Zack’s questions have quickly taken over social media. New York magazine called her a “Twitter genius.”
Zack herself seems surprised about her newfound Internet fame.
She did not stop at dog or food comparisons. Another viral post compared sheep dogs to a cleaning product: the mop.
By Friday, Zack’s idea had become a meme. Other people on social media are creating their own “dog or food?” photos.
One Twitter user compared Shar Pei dogs with melted chocolate.
And that’s What’s Trending Today
